Would you let your 25 year-old son see you naked?

Needs to see a real woman?? Has he only seen clockwork ones before?

Absolutely not! We were very open with our children and not at all prudish, but my sixty-three old body is NOT what it was!

And if he needs to see a real woman buy a mag from top shelf FFS. The woman's a perv if you ask me. Shudder

I remember when my son was 6 he saw me drying off after a shower and told me my boobs were like crinkly brown paper bags. From then onwards I always covered up and dread to think what at 35 years old he would think of my boobs now ?

It is not the nudity that would bother me but the fact that having lost quite a lot of weight, I am very conscious of having a really ugly stomach!
I had an elderly great aunt who would strip off her bathing costume on the beach to dry before putting her clothes on. Her attitude was that nice people wouldn't look, and the others didn't matter!!!

Ness57 my friends DGC asked me what I thought the thing was on his Grans other tummy.

Absolutely not.

I was with my 33 year old son last night and told him about this thread. The look on his face meant no words were necessary - I shall describe it as a look of horror!!
BTW I wonder how her son is feeling about his mum announcing this on tv - not happy I should think.
She talks about her family all the time and, as has already been said above, is very involved with their lives. Too involved it would seem - To quote a line from Pretty Women "Big Mistake - Huge!"

I don’t think the women in ‘top shelf’ magazines are a manifestation of ‘real women’ ?

Haha true... but neither is his Mother

Nothing wrong with the human body. I life model for an art group and have done so for years, what I earn from that pays for our holidays and keeps us from struggling financially.

I agree there's nothing wrong with the human body but my DS would need brain bleach were he to see mine ?!
If it's the norm in a household then fine, but it isn't in ours, and hasn't been for a very long time.

The human body is fine by me. It's just bloody weird for a Mature mother to show her 25 yr old son her naked body. Yuk yuk yuk

We've been naturists in the privacy of our own home for over 30 years and don't think twice - my 34-year-old son doesn't bat an eyelid. I put on clothes when I go out, but at home tend to wear, at most, comfy PJs. No hassle if it suits you!

My son came up the stairs whole I was walking out the shower room tying my hair up. His face was worse than mine as he came face to face with my boobs
He was always been embarrassed by womens curves and me. He later got less embaresed as he got girlfriends
Even later I started sunbathing topless before my first abroad holiday in Greece.
But if he still catches me unawares in just undies he shrieks and says sorry.
Just wishhe was more modest

I think there have been a few close shaves here, and the look on their faces told me all I needed to know!

I do get fed up with people calling us prudish compared to Germans, Scandis, etc. Personally I have no desire whatever to see droopy, flabby bodies, fat wobbly bottoms or sagging old boobs, let alone old men's dangly bits.

On a very crowded beach in Greece I once unwittingly got a far too close-up face-full of some uninhibited old German woman's fanny - not a pretty sight - enough to put me off my lunch, I can tell you.

I don't consider myself remotely prudish generally, , but some things are IMO better covered up.

We are all real women.

This nonsense of 'real' women is pathetic.

If I thought my son, at 25, was so stupid that he thought the airbrushed celebs and any porn he was watching was what real women looked like. I would have disowned him long before.

When our children were tiny, under 5, we didn't bother if they came into the bathroom or bedroom when we were in a state of undress so they knew what adult bodies looked like but after that privacy, for all, gradually became the norm.

Definitely not, my daughter maybe by ,oh left door open oh sorry mum didn't no you were getting undressed from here ,,is the normal way

In our family we were totally relaxed sbout say changing or walking to and from the bathroom until the child indicated they wanted privacy, which in both cases was about 7-8 years old. After that we were scrupulous in giving them privacy, both for their dear little bodies 😊 and ours not quite so dear or little!!

No way, he would probably be put off his dinner! By accident, perhaps. I agree with WWM, around 7 or 8 years old.

I have had so much abdominal surgery that even I refuse to look at my naked body.
